The only thing good about a stay in the hospital such as this is that it brought Elliott into our world.  The journey began at 5 a.m. on Friday and finally wrapped up shortly after noon today.  Granted, there will be trips to visit Dr. Baker, our pediatrican and other stops along the way in the days ahead but I’d be happy if that was our last stay in a hospital for a while.

For the time being, though, we’re happy to have Elliott at home.  Lily, on the other hand, is a bit apprehensive about having something else tiny in the house; however, she seems to be warming up to the little fella.  Both mother and child seem to be settling in well, though each have had a couple of naps today.

Until Stephanie writes an account of the last few days, enjoy these photos from our last day at the Bowling Green Medical Center and our first day as a newly-minted family at 806 Brownstone Way.

What an exciting forty-eight hours it has been in the Alderdice world.  We were excited to welcome little Elliott Lyndan Alderdice at 9:05 p.m. on Friday, August 6, 2010.  The fella was eight pounds, five ounces and twenty-one-and-a-quarter inches long.  We’re happy to share this first bath of photos with you.

Time to Celebrate “Labor Day” for Elliott

Most of our friends have joked about the likeliness of me “live blogging” the birth of our first child.

Most of our friends have been correct about this assumption.

Tomorrow, I’ll tweet updates throughout the day.  We go in for induction at 5 a.m. (CDT).  Who knows how long it will be from then until Elliott’s arrival, though.  My tweets will include a #lbrday hashtag.  If you’d like to pass along a message to us or the little fella, you are welcome to use the tag as well.  All #lbrday tweets will appear in the timeline below so you can see what’s going on if you’re not on Twitter.

It’s going to be an exciting day!

Update: You can read the #lbrday transcript of tweets via What the Hashtag.
